2 2 I. COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is an extension of the CSD206 and CSD300 Visual Basic courses. All learning styles will be addressed by having the students learn by using manuals; lectures; small group work; online referencing, step-by-step exercises, as well as the development of a real life computer system. The development of the computer system will place the students in a project team and complete the analysis, design, development and the implementation of a computer based system using Visual Basic, Crystal Reports and a database tool to handle file management. The nature of the projects are real, therefore, there is a Community Value Added component of the course. The instructor will secure a project that will involve a non-profit organization or a small business within Sault Ste. Marie. The students must work closely with the business acting as the primary end -users. The students have gained a solid background in data base design, programming, and systems analysis and design, as well as working in small teams to complete project work. This course will bring all of these curriculum components together and challenge the students with real life projects that will prepare them for their computer profession. The delivery of the system will be completed in the sixth semester during the CSD310 course. The lecture components of the course will focus on the ADO.Net object model and use that model in developing the data-bound Windows Forms and Web Forms.

3 II. 3 LEARNING OUTCOMES AND ELEMENTS OF THE PERFORMANCE: Upon successful completion of this course the student will demonstrate the ability to: 1. Major Project Create Service Request Develop the problem statement Establish priorities Establish a method to study the present system Organize the products of the study Review existing procedures Observing current operations Perform interviews and walkthroughs Create data flow diagrams Define the prototype Build prototyped reports, screens, functions, controls and any interfaces. Define the database structure and contents, from table definitions and keys identified, to attributes. Ensure data normalization Describe types of data validation and verification techniques Identify different reporting types Identify output formats Create the required windows interfaces. Design any required coding techniques, code each object and any functions and modules. Develop and enter test data Establish version controls Establish documentation procedures, and creation of user guide Identify the hardware the system will eventually reside on. Monitor team member progress. Establish milestones and monitor progress. Train end users Establish a conversion process. Ensure operating acceptance Establish responsibilities for making revisions. Establish backup procedures. 2. Getting Started with ADO.NET

4 4 Identify the primary objects that make up Microsoft ADO.NET and how they interact Create Connection and DataAdapter objects by using the DataAdapter Configuration wizard Automatically generate a DataSet Bind control properties to a DataSet Load data into a DataSet at run time 3. Creating Connections Add an instance of a Server Explorer Connection to a form Create a connection using code Use Connection properties Use an intermediate variable to reference multiple types of connections Bind Connection properties to Form Controls Open and Close Conections Respond to a Connection.StateChange event 4. Data Commands and the DataReader Add a Data Command to a form Create a Data Command at run time Set Command properties at run time Configure the Parameters collection in VB.NET Add and configure Parameters at run time Set Parameter values Execute a Command Create a DataReader to return Command results

5 5 5. The DataAdapter Create a DataAdapter Preview the results of a DataAdapter Set a DataAdapter s properties Use the Table Mappings dialog box Use he DataAdapter s methods Respond to DataAdapter events 6. Transaction Processing in ADO.NET Create a Transaction Create a Nested Transaction Commit a Transaction Rollback a Transaction 7. The DataSet Create Typed and Untyped DataSets Add DataTables to DataSets Add DataRelations to DataSets Clone and copy DataSets 8. The DataTable Create an independent DataTable at run time Add a DataTable to an existing DataSet Add a PrimaryKey constraint by using the FillSchema method Create a calculated column in a DataTable Add a new row to the Rows collection Display the RowState of a DataRow Add a ForeignKey constraint to a DataTable Add a UniqueConstraint to a DataTable Display a subset of rows within a DataTable Retrieve data related to the current DataRow 9. The DataView

6 6 Add a Dataview to a form Create a DataView at run time Create calculated columns in a DataView Sort DataView rows Filter DataView rows Search a DataView based on a primary key value 10. Editing and Updating Data Use the RowState property of a DataRow Retrieve a specific version of a DataRow Add a row to a DataTable Delete a row from a DataTable Edit a DataRow Accept and reject changes to data 11. ADO.NET data-binding in Windows Forms Simple-bind control properties using the Properties window Simple-bind control properties using the Advanced Bining dialog box Simple-bind control properties at run time Complex-bind control properties using the Properties window Use CurrencyManager properties Use the Binding object s properties 12. Using ADO.NET in Windows Forms Format data using the Format and Parse events Use specialized controls to simply data entry Use data relations to display related data Find rows based on Sort criteria Work with data change events and validation events Use the ErrorProvider component 13. Data-Binding in Web Forms

7 7 Simple-bind controls at design time Simple-bind controls at run time Display bound data on a page Display bound data on a page Complex-bind controls at design time Complex-bind controls at run time Use the DataBinder object Store a DataSet in the session state and ViewState Update a data source using a Command object 14. Using ADO.NET in Web Forms Display data in DataGrid control Implement sorting in a DataGrid control Display data in a DataList control Implement paging in a DataGrid control Implement manual navigation in a Web form Use validation controls to control user entry IV.
